Have been hunting deer all my life and have never considered using my .222, perhaps out east where the distances are shorter it might be more viable. out west where the distance can be long at times I know there are always better options. I will keep my .222 for hunting coyotes,rockchucks and shooting prairie dogs.


Not sure what you consider "shorter" but I have killed them out to 400 yards in the east. Last one I killed with a .22 CF (223) was right on 275 yards.
